Hi I created up an .cppcheck xml from my setup using a script .
I activated CERT , MISRA analysis, and use CPPCheck GUI
I was surprised there's wasn't so much entries in the report : too good to be true.
Then, I tried to use Analyze/directory... from the GUI and I get a LOT more entries !
And most cannot be related to defines...
It's seems really strange to me 🤨
yes it sounds strange. hard to say what the reason is.
can you reproduce the behavior for a single file also? Using Analyze/file.. and then the .cppcheck can specify a file instead of a path to check.
if you create a .cppcheck file that does not have any defines then the analysis should be similar to Analyze/directory..
can you show the .cppcheck file?
Hi I have the feeling it's linked to an #ifdef block that have a syntax error. In this case could it stop the processing of the remaining part of the file ?
if you get some syntax error output then yes this will stop all the analysis immediately.
if you don't get the output then it shouldn't stop.
I assume that when you provide include paths and defines then you get a lot fewer warnings. If you use
-E(cppcheck -E -DDEF file.c) option on a file can you see if the preprocessor output contains some important parts of your code?
